Great location, right on the beach and 1 minute walk from the main bus station. Lovely staff, friendly, polite, and ready to help. Spacious room and bathroom. Large balcony with incredible sea view. Everything was clean and in good order. Lots of mirrors, which I found helpful.

The lack of a table on the balcony. There were only chairs, unlike in the photos, and it wasn't helpful if you preferred to have your coffee on the balcony as I do. The mattress is rather uncomfortable (old model with springs which you do feel as you sleep) Hard pillow that gives you neck pain. It's a bit noisy if you keep the balcony door open due to the nearby harbour. (I guess it depends on one's nervous system sensitivity)

I find it amazing that there are reviews which complain about the proximity of the port. We really enjoyed being able to watch the container ships coming in and out and watching them being loaded and unloaded. If this would bother you then don't stay here. We also enjoyed meeting some of the Filipino crew while they were enjoying a couple of hours shore leave. If you look the other way then the view of the beach is great. Beachfront location, loads of bars and restaurants around. The hotel and the room and the breakfast buffet were nothing special but all were acceptable and more than adequate for a few nights stay.

Nothing to rave about, but nothing to complain about either.

There was a nice comfortable bed, a gorgeous view, and a good-sized balcony. The bathroom was simple but clean and well stocked. The staff were polite and friendly, especially the domestic staff. This is a simple hotel, no gym, and no swimming pool, etc, but for someone who just wants to relax and enjoy the beach, which is directly next to it, it's perfect. The sea is gorgeous! Yes, there is a view of the shipping port right next to the hotel, but it's not an ugly port and it's not an eye-sore. It's an essential part of Malta and shouldn't be overlooked. At nighttime, it looks awesome. There are several restaurants close by; Illusions is great, and the staff are super friendly. Their omelette is incredible. Coffee Circus China is also close by, and the coffee and hot chocolate are delicious. It's a very quirky cafe and the staff are friendly. I wouldn't go to Pretty Bay if you want a bustling town with tons to do, but if you want to relax and re-charge, definitely visit!

Honestly, the only complaint we had was the TV and the remote. We could only find two channels on an evening to watch - Eurosports and Comedy Central. So I had to endure a week of snooker on an evening before I could watch Rick and Morty and Frasier 🤣 also, the remote rarely worked even when we changed the batteries ourselves.

This hotel is relatively close to the airport in a not very touristy area with regular buses to Valetta. The rooms have large balconies directly overlooking Pretty Bay (but also the island's container terminal). The restaurant on the ground floor offered excellent food and the management was very flexible in postponing the closure of the kitchen when we returned very late and exhausted from a tour, much appreciated! The reception staff were very friendly and helpful.

There is a beach right beside the hotel but, although there were a number of people swimming, we did not see how the water quality could fail to be downgraded by having a major harbour next door. The in-house breakfast was very limited in scope but there is a nearby alternative.

We were allocated a room on earlier than check-in arrival time. The front desk staff also arranged a taxi for a very early departure to airport. This was our sixth stay at the Waters Edge and we are scheduled to stay there again in the near future, it may not appeal to some but we do enjoy watching the arrival and departure of freighters into the Freeport. Sunrise views from the hotels rooms are also spectacular. (We are resident on the Maltese Island of Gozo and we often enjoy the opportunity to take mini vacations on Malta, the Waters Edge is a favorite in this respect)

Maybe and earlier continental breakfast option for those guests having an early departure for the airport.

Hotel location Easy access to the Pretty Beach Very nice and friendly staff, great thanks for Miriam as well as Dušica - very hardworking Great restaurants around

Noise from the air-conditioning in the room - I'm very light sleeper Quality of the bed mattress The same breakfasts every day Parking issues - hotel doesn't have its own carpark- you must park somewhere around the hotel in ' a white box' - spaces are very limited due to always busy area so sometimes we were hunting for a free space for a long time. But bus service is available right from the hotel's steps. No entertainment - however it is difficult in post Covid time. There was a bingo organised by the town for local residents, 6 of 7 nights. I wouldn't mind a bit of more entertainment like dance every other evening instead - but again - post Covid times - August / September 2021

It was in a good location the beach right opposite the hotel & close to transport

What I didn’t like about this hotel I think the towels & the linen they went to hotel standards I did asked the front desk if they had any complaints & she said no her response was I will tell the supervisor but no one gave any feedback I think they need to change their laundry provider cause the linen & towels were gray instead of white & especially the towels had some sort of odour.

The Hotel staff was polite and very friendly. I asked for a late check out and I got one extra hour for free. The room is as described in the picture. The view from the balcony is great. The location is perfect for travels to the airport and to Valletta. The bus stop is next to the hotel. The beach next to the hotel is perfect for kids, sandy and shelter.

The breakfast is just basics. This could be improved but it did not spoiled my stay. The walls seams to be very thick as you can hear your neighbors quite well.

Nice view from the balcony. Comfortable and stylish rooms. It had a mini fridge (but not filled with stacks or drinks), a cattle to use which was a convenient way to make teas.

The key card was not working properly we had to change it a couple of times.
